On the occasion of World International Day Against Drug Abuse, several prominent figures from the Telugu film industry, including noted producer Dil Raju, global star Ram Charan, and youth icon Vijay Deverakonda, came together to raise their voices against drug use and promote awareness about its harmful effects. The event focused on the importance of staying drug-free to safeguard the future of the nation’s youth.
Speaking at the event, Vijay Deverakonda shared a personal anecdote:
“I usually live in my own world and don’t always keep track of what’s happening around me. While I was shooting in Visakhapatnam, a police officer approached me and requested a video statement for an anti-drug campaign. I agreed without hesitation. Later, I came to know that there’s an official International Day against Drug Abuse—it honestly surprised me.”
He continued, “When I spoke with a few police officers, they explained the deeper context of this day and the fight against drugs. That conversation made me realize how serious this issue is. I felt a personal responsibility to spread awareness. You don’t need a war to destroy a nation—getting its youth addicted to drugs is more than enough.”
Vijay further added, “India has one of the largest youth populations in the world. Unfortunately, that also makes us a target for forces trying to ruin our future by introducing drugs. Once someone becomes addicted, coming out of it is extremely difficult. If any of your friends are into drugs, it’s best to distance yourself. In life, what truly matters is good health, financial stability, and self-respect. There’s no point in indulging in anything that threatens these. Let’s live our lives in a way that makes our parents proud.”
The event concluded with a collective pledge to support anti-drug efforts and continue raising awareness among the youth, reinforcing the message that a drug-free future is a strong and successful future.
